Superior experience.
Friendly and professional staff, room was amazing. Felt like home, and the view was wonderful to wake up to every morning. Couldn’t have picked a better location for our getaway.

Could not be better
Our family stayed at Inn By The Sea for a weekend in January. The property is stunning, and the suite was tremendous. We appreciated all of the little details that invited us to share great experiences together as a family, from the board games on the shelf, to the fire-pit and s'mores in the courtyard, to the walking trails along the beach, everything about the stay was simply wonderful.

We spent our 29th Anniversary here. We had an upgraded room with a balcony. It was absolutely amazing. Convenient to the beach, convenient to other sights in the Cape Elizabeth area and Portland, Maine. The staff was fantastic from front door staff, wait staff, room cleaners to the managers. They are over the top helpful. Definitely a return visit in the future.

Wonderful from start to finish! Excellent service and accommodations. Beautiful and well kept. On site restaurant with excellent food. The only way I could think to improve is to increase the pool temperature in the off season and add a jacuzzi.
